DBAB Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2010 after Mrs. Kim Cantey Davis, experienced bullying first-hand. Her daughter also experienced bullying at a young age, and as a parent, she decided to do something about it. With a strong background in theater and vocal performance, Kim merged her craft and passion to give the silenced a voice and wrote a stage play that would change how children learn and think about bullying. She knew then that there was a need for community programs that promoted positive learning experiences in safe environments where children could thrive socially and academically without being afraid. Kim’s vision of the stage plays birth into what is now The Don't Be A Bully Foundation, Inc. in the last 11 years as CEO & Founder, she has lifted her organization to impressive heights. Over time she has facilitated and maintained DBAB’s partnerships with four county public library systems, gained endorsement as an official Partner in Education within the Fulton, City of Atlanta, and Cobb County School District, and has guided her passion to bring about results that have received national and local recognition from HLN and CBS 46 Atlanta. As a philanthropist, founder, and breast cancer survivor, Kim currently spends her time living out her lifelong mission to restore self-esteem & self-love in women and children while educating her community on how they can never be silenced if they unite to Speak Up and Speak Out.
Along her side supporting her vision and helping to implement the mission of DBAB, Inc. is her husband of 23 years, Terry Davis, and daughter Symone Cantey Gerren.
